La Liga Soccer Livestream: How to Watch Barcelona vs. Real Betis From Anywhere - CNET
Barcelona will look to keep up the pressure on La Liga leaders Real Madrid as they host Real Betis on Saturday at their temporary home of Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, while the Camp Nou is revamped.
Having made an underwhelming start to the new campaign with a goaless draw against Getafe, Barca boss Xavi will have been relieved to see his side go on a run of three straight league victories in a row before the international break.
They now come up against a Betis side who currently sit seventh in the table, following their 1-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano last time out.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch all of the action live wherever you are in the world.
Barcelona vs. Real Betis: When and where?
Barcelona host Real Betis at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Saturday, Sept. 16. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m CEST local time, making it a 3 p.m. ET, 12 p.m PT start in the US, an 8 p.m. start in the UK and a 5 a.m. AEST kick-off in Australia on Sunday.
How to watch the Barcelona vs. Real Betis game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
